Hi all,

I have just changed to the new kernel 2.2.2 with the modern zftape, and
I am having some strange problems.

I use tob for my backups and a script for verification based in a string 

VERIFYCMD=`afio $TOB_AFIO_COMMON $AFIO_Z $AFIO_VERBOSE -r $BACKUPDEV`

where afio is instructed to do the verification, and whose values are
expanded to the result and executed via eval $VERIFYCMD

That worked with the old ftape, but is problematic now, since I get the
error

afio: "/dev/qft0": No input

However, if in the script I write twice 

eval $VERIFYCMD
eval $VERIFYCMD

I get an error for the first line, but works the second. The same if I
wake the device with for instance a "mt status" command in the line
before.

ftape is compiled as a module with options in conf.modules

alias char-major-27       zftape
pre-install ftape /sbin/swapout 15

Any hint?
